Layered Thinking

Layered thinking

Layer 1: Ugh, my throat hurts, my neck hurts, what if I have a super severe disease that's going to kill me?

Layer 2: Oh, would you look at that, I'm being a paranoid hypochondriac again. I'll just ignore myself.

Layer 3: But wait, isn't pain supposed to be an alarm system to make me aware something's wrong with my body? If I keep ignoring it, won't I end up ignoring something important? WHAT IF THAT'S NOW AND I HAVE A SUPER SEVERE DISEASE THAT'S GOING TO KILL ME?

“Trying out sex” is not how you confirm or deny your asexuality. It might help you decide whether or not you enjoy sex. It might even help you decide which gender you prefer to have sex with.

But it will not, under any circumstances, confirm someone’s asexuality.

Because asexuality is not about whether or not you like sex. It’s about whether or not you experience sexual attraction.

Stop telling asexual people to “give it a try.” 

Stop questioning asexuals based on their sexual history or lack thereof.

You are missing the point.
